Builtsmart: Innovating for Faster, Safer Modular Construction with Proscaf Support
Builtsmart has become a trailblazer in the construction industry, leading the way with their innovative offsite construction methods. The recent visit of Education Minister Erica Stanford highlights just how much they are contributing to New Zealand’s educational infrastructure by providing classrooms built in a fraction of the time and at a significantly reduced cost.
Minister Stanford, impressed by the speed and cost-efficiency of Builtsmart’s approach, noted the increasing shift towards offsite modular builds as a preferred solution for educational projects across the country. The advantages are clear: instead of the traditional six months it takes to build classrooms on-site, Builtsmart completes the bulk of the work in just seven weeks offsite, followed by a swift installation on school grounds in as little as three weeks.
This accelerated process is revolutionizing how classrooms—and in the future, two-storey school buildings—are constructed. It’s a solution perfectly tailored for the challenges schools face, where disruptions from long construction timelines are a major concern. Builtsmart’s approach minimizes these issues, allowing learning to continue with minimal interruption.

Proscaf: A Partner in Builtsmart’s Success
Behind this seamless production process is a vital component: Proscaf scaffolding. Our team worked closely with Builtsmart to design a scaffolding solution that supports their modular construction projects. The scaffolding is mounted on castors, ensuring mobility and ease of use, making it simple for workers to access various parts of the build efficiently.
Safety is a key priority for Builtsmart, and Proscaf plays an integral role in ensuring their construction sites are as safe as possible. The mobility of our scaffolding reduces the need for repeated setup, while providing secure platforms for workers to access elevated areas, helping Builtsmart maintain their fast-paced schedule without compromising safety standards.

Supporting Government Initiatives
As Buildsmart continues to deliver innovative solutions to government-backed educational projects, their collaboration with us helps meet the increasing demand for offsite construction. Buildsmart’s classrooms are not only quick to build but are also designed to address key concerns around warm, dry, and safe learning environments. Each classroom features high-quality insulation and heat pumps, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.
By partnering with Proscaf, Buildsmart has been able to streamline their operations and improve the speed and safety of their modular home construction, including their innovative classroom projects. As the government shifts towards more efficient offsite construction methods, Proscaf’s role in helping Builtsmart meet these goals reinforces our commitment to providing reliable, high-quality scaffolding solutions that support innovation in construction.
